This little guy flitted down into a tree on the other side of the mangroves from the boardwalk and I managed to get this shot off before a runner in a red shirt startled it.

Pretty little guy.

That he is, I was hoping to get closer, but the runner scared him off - they're quite wary of humans as such.

I wasn't sure - the one around home is definitely a Forest Kingfisher, but this one is a tough call. Both birds are very similar, with the Sacred Kingfisher have a more buff coloured breast.
